I've never been able to use the Knuckleball effectively. It always gets hit. It does really well in simulations, but I can never use it. They always know when it's coming, or something.
I play on Powerful.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question, what does SC, SCB, SIFB and V-SLD stand for? The pitches of course. |

Screwball, Slow Curveball, Sinking Fastball, and Vertical Slider, respectively. |

Thanks man, I was just wondering cause I wanted one of my players to learn a screwball and had no idea which one it was, the other two were out of curiosity. |

The SCB is one of the best pitches in the game, IMO. |

Yeah, definitely up there with the forkball, palmball, two seamer and the splitter. |

The V-SLD is also a great pitch - it's one of two pitches I can't seem to hit (the other being the 4SFB, as odd as that seems). |

I disagree with the forkball being a top pitch. I can't figure out how to use it! I like the screwball. It's like a sinker, but more drop and less sideways motion. Because of that, I find it more effective than a sinker at lvl 2-3 and equally effective at 4. The hard-sinker outshines both of those once you get to level 4, IMO. Also, I've got some pitches with foshes now. Like a forkball, but smoother. Anyway, I still don't think it's very effective, just like the forkball is not effective, but I like it better than the forkball. I think that for pitches in the "down" category, here's how I rank them, based on effectiveness at lvl 1-3: Palmball Change-circle change (tie) Splitter Knuckle Verticle slider Fosh Fork As for the pitches I got to lvl 4, here's my ranking: Knuckle Splitter Change Vert slider Fork |

Unfortunately, the CPU doesn't have as much trouble with it as you! I've found that it does, although I've had the CPU on a lower level recently due to having not played the game much in the past year or so. |
